Jesus ultimately cares for all those in a relationship, but especially those who are vulnerable and hurt. He seeks to lift up the importance and value of love and trust in a committed relationship like marriage.

Jesus challenges our complacency in the face of destructive powers and evils, and invites us to look inside ourselves and remain true to the peace given by Jesus.

Jesus set a different standard for what it would take to be a follower of his and to be great. And it's the same standard he applied to himself—to be a servant of all.

It's critical that people who claim Jesus understand the kind of messiah Jesus was and the kind of followers he calls for--centered not in a desire for power, but in love and service of neighbor.

As we embrace the real, complicated humanity of Jesus we find hope for ourselves and our world, discovering our purpose to bring healing and peace.

God's wisdom and grace enable us to examine ourselves honestly and find healing and hope with our hearts.

Faith offers a strategy for combatting adversaries that holds onto the peace, love and hope shared with us in Christ

As we remain in community we can find our voice, rediscover joy and peace, and identify a purpose that is worthy of our lives and true to God's hope for us.

Through self-discipline, we have the capacity to make a new path and change our world.

When we live out our faith and our calling in a gracious Spirit, it becomes a purpose that is worthy of us and worthy of our life together.
